Reviews

Loved this story. Some parts were funny others sad. Love listening to Karen Savage, she really makes the characters come to life.


(5 stars)

A great book and a wonderful read. This was a very different book then the preceeding 7 in the series. While the others are sweet, likeable life stories, this one offers many pure and moving accounts of a period of history not often talked about. I enjoyed it as a close to the series, though even as a stand-alone story, it would still be moving. Very very good.

Touching book, beautifully read


(5 stars)

Touching book, beautifully read! I find this story inspiring, and it gives me a glimpse into a time that is so unfamiliar to me.


(4 stars)

This is one of Lucy Maud Montgomery more serious books. It's focuses more on Anne's youngest daughter Rilla. Although many of the old characters are in this book including Anne and Gilbert. although I enjoyed this story and a big thank you to all the readers, I did miss the comical side of Anne's nature and the funny things that she got up to in her older books. Also I wonder If people were harder in those times when L M Montgomery wrote, the treatment to the cats in her stories are rather unpleasant, being a cat lover I felt a little put off off.

very good book


(4.5 stars)

This is a book with much feeling and sentiment in it. It has heartache, laughter death and humour. I very much enjoyed reading it but I wish the end had more elaboration, especially on what happened to rolls as she grew up with her lover. But apparat from that I find no other fault. I bring a cat lover found the dr jeckel and met Hyde cat episodes very amusing, I did feel bad at the end though. I would totally recommend this book.

poignant and sweet


(4 stars)

So funny and touching at the same time! Karen Savage is such an incredibly amazing reader and does all the flawless voices! This story is about a young Canadian girl's teens during World War One and the love and heartbreak she encounters. Also, it is so wonderful to get a glimpse of Anne and Gilbert when they are older. All in all, it was throughly good book.

The End of a Wonderful Series Read by Karen Savage


(5 stars)

I have truly enjoyed listening to the Anne of Green Gables series, especially read by Karen Savage! The whole series has been made even more delightful by Karen's skillful reading. Both her inflections and her variation of "voices" brought every little humorous, dramatic, or solemn moment to the surface. I am grateful that she volunteered so much time to read and record this lovely series so I could listen to it while I worked.

A wonderful conclusion to a timeless masterpiece of a series


(5 stars)

Lucy MM does not disappoint, and Karen's reading is more excellent than ever. Thank you Lucy and Karen for this amazing gift to the world. This book is sweet and sad. Hopeful and despairing. But above all, it shows us the joy, strength and wonderfulness of humans especially in the most trying of times. A timeless masterpiece.
